Adult and Dislocated Worker funds; minimum allocation requirement waived.

Summary

The bill allows the Department of Workforce Development and Advancement to waive the rule that local workforce boards must spend at least 40% of WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds on training, if the board shows a lack of training providers, low participant demand, or other extraordinary circumstances. Boards must apply for the waiver using a process the Department must publish, and any freed‑up money must be used for client services. The law also adds penalties for non‑compliance and creates a 30% incentive pool for post‑secondary training institutions.
